The Finance Analyst opportunity:

Are you a Finance Analyst looking for a new opportunity? Do you have previous utilities controller experience? If so, we'd love to hear from you!

About the role

Our Finance team is looking to recruit a Finance Analyst to join us and lead our utility work (electricity, gas, water & waste) across our retail estate. 

You'll ensure a smooth service delivery for our utilities and will liaise with the Estates team, working on their database (Manhattan). You'll  validate & authorise invoices, account journal entries, and liaise with both internal and external stakeholders, working on utility issues and tracking queries until resolved with our suppliers. 

Having multi-site and volume exposure, as well as a good standard of MS Excel (Pivot tables, V Lookups, etc.) is essential for this role.

This role will be listed internally as Finance Analyst - Utilities.

Working arrangements:

This is a dual location role, with your working time split between your home and approximately once a week at our London Office. This will allow us to unlock our best work for our cause, blending the best of home and office working. There may also be some occasional travel to our Claygate office in Surrey.

Here at the BHF we understand that you might need a little help balancing your work and home life. Many of our people work flexibly in many different ways. Please feel free to talk to us about the flexibility you may need.

About you 

Part qualified CCAB or CIMA accountant, or qualified by experience, you'll have previous experience of variance analysis reporting, cost control and journaling. Utility knowledge on electricity, gas and water is essential.

An expert in MS Excel, you'll be able to multi-task, using your initiative to resolve issues in a calm manner. You'll use our key finance systems, iPOS and Q+A to source key finance information and ensure details are kept up to date as needed. Knowledge of high transaction volume is essential in this role.

Working in a small team, able to liaise with contacts across our multi-site organisation, you'll be a self-starter and be logically minded. You’ll have excellent communication skills, able to liaise with contacts across our retail directorate clearly and concisely ensuring key deadlines are met and issues resolved.

Our recruitment process requires that successful candidates are asked to consent to a basic DBS check and any offer of employment will be subject to a satisfactory basic DBS check.
